Travel through a martial arts world and gain a little breakthrough every day.

Lin Feng was very curious about Mr. Hong's identity.

Lin Feng's purpose in becoming an apprentice was to join a sect.

Mr. Hong looked up into the distance, as if reminiscing.

"I am the eldest disciple of Cloud Sword Peak, the fourth peak of the Sword Sect."

The peak master of this lineage is my master, who is also your grandmaster.

My master has been in seclusion for more than ten years.

Many people believe that he has passed away.

Therefore, our lineage has been suppressed by internal and external forces in recent years.

A few months ago, I was on a mission when I was seriously injured by the Poison Demon Shangguan Qingcang. When I was fleeing to the mountain gate, I was intercepted and killed by an unidentified man in black.

Therefore, I can only hide here with Yue'e to recuperate.

I will return to the mountain gate once I recover from my injuries.

As a disciple I took in from outside, if you want to enter the sect, you must first hide your identity and join an external force of the Sword Sect.

Then they gradually rose to prominence, and only by entering the Sword Sect through their own strength could their identities be revealed.

When you reveal your identity upon entering the Sword Sect, that will be the time I formally accept you into the inner sect.

I can also bring you directly into the Sword Sect.

But if you do that, you'll be stuck as an outer disciple forever, just like Yue'e.

No matter how high a disciple's martial arts skills are, an outer disciple can only become an outer elder, whose status and position cannot be compared with those of an inner disciple.

Inner disciples can become elders of the Sword Sect, peak masters of various peaks, or even the sect leader of the Sword Sect.

"You have good potential; I hope you can become an inner disciple."

Lin Feng clasped his hands and said, "This disciple will definitely enter the Sword Sect based on my strength."

"Okay, but you must be careful to conceal your identity before that."

If your identity is exposed prematurely, you will not only be suppressed by other peaks, but you may even be assassinated by demonic masters.

You learn everything very quickly; I will teach you everything I can as soon as possible during this time.

"Disciple noted it down."

……

Had dinner at noon.

Mr. Hong also taught Lin Feng the "Purple Moon Heart Sutra".

Afterwards, he had his maid Yue'e teach Lin Feng the "Health-Preserving Sword Technique".

The Body Nourishing Sword Technique and the Mind Nourishing Sword Technique are similar; neither is a sword technique that can be used for combat.

The purpose of the health-preserving sword technique is to improve physical fitness, prolong life, and, when mastered, enhance one's martial arts aptitude.

It is a sword technique that everyone in the Sword Sect knows, and most people don't waste too much time on it.

Because it takes so long to see results.

After teaching Lin Feng martial arts, Mr. Hong also explained the structure of this world and some experiences for navigating the martial arts world to Lin Feng.

Many of the things Mr. Hong mentioned are reflected in the Shenzhou Zhi.

It seems I'll have to take a good look at the Records of China when I get back.

Lin Feng had another free dinner at Mr. Hong's house, and he didn't go home until sunset.

After returning home and playing with his child for a while, Lin Feng checked his attribute panel.

Name: Lin Feng.

Life: 36.

Martial arts:

Six shots from a hunting bow (not up to par) (perfect).

Beast Hunting Fist (Unskilled) (Artistic Level)

Madman's Stick Technique (Unorthodox) (Complete).

Basic swordsmanship (beginner level) (for beginners).

Nourishing the Mind Sword Technique (Superior) (Beginner).

Health-preserving sword technique (superior level) (beginner level).

Yin-Yang Sword Technique (Superior) (Beginner).

Purple Moon Heart Sutra (Superior) (Beginner).

Golden Bell Cover (Lower Level) (Sixth Level)

Traveling a thousand miles in a flash (lower level) (not yet mastered).

Crimson Gold Glaze (Master Technique) (Beginner Level)

Breakthrough point: 3

Lin Feng felt that he already knew enough martial arts, so he wasn't in a hurry to find secret manuals anymore. He would first improve all the martial arts he had learned to perfection.

Having mastered these martial arts skills, one can handle any situation.

Having faced two life-or-death crises, Lin Feng developed the habit of accumulating breakthrough opportunities.

Try not to use up all your breakthrough points.

This stuff can be life-saving if applied to someone in a critical moment.

I need to always have five or six breakthrough points ready in the future.

……

The Iron Rod Gang has never come to Xiahe Village since they collected protection money last time.

The legend of the Qinghe Hero came and went quickly, and no one mentions it anymore.

More than half a month of peaceful days passed.

Lin Feng used sixteen breakthrough points to upgrade the Crimson Gold Glaze to the first level.

His life attribute also increased by sixteen points, from thirty-six to fifty-two.

After reaching the second level of Crimson Gold Glaze, you no longer need to hold the Glaze Bead in your hand for five seconds before launching it; you can launch it instantly.

However, the arm will remain numb for five seconds after the strike.

It's estimated that the arm won't go numb after the user reaches the third level of cultivation and throws a hidden weapon.

However, Lin Feng does not plan to add any more points to Crimson Gold Glaze in the short term.

The remaining breakthroughs should be focused on the Golden Bell Shield.

Only in this way can one reach the level of skin refinement.

Despite practicing kung fu for so long, I'm still a complete novice with no real skill level.

However, once he masters the Golden Bell Shield technique, he will be able to skip the cowhide and stonehide realms and immediately reach the ironhide realm.

His strength surpasses that of most third-rate martial artists at the Skin Refining Realm.

Moreover, according to Mr. Hong, only martial artists who have reached the Skin Refining Realm can unleash internal energy, making their attack power far exceed that of ordinary martial artists.

When I fought Wang Shanxiong, I suffered because I didn't have internal energy.

At the time, Wang Shanxiong even mocked himself: "Practicing martial arts without internal skills will lead to nothing in old age."

Now that my life attributes have met the requirements, I need to improve my cultivation level.

Once one has internal energy, the power of the Crimson Gold Glaze can be further enhanced.

What I need now is time to accumulate breakthroughs every day.

Of course, he didn't rely entirely on breakthroughs.

He still spends a lot of time practicing martial arts every day.

It was lunchtime that day.

Lin's mother sighed and said, "These past two days, things haven't been peaceful at your brother Zhang's house next door."

The day before yesterday, a fortune teller passed by your brother Zhang's house and said that your brother Zhang's wife has problems with this pregnancy.

They say that the rat your brother Zhang killed in the field last year was the offspring of the Rat God, which angered the Rat God.

The Rat God unleashed punishment.

The day your sister-in-law Zhang gave birth was the day she and her unborn child died.

Do you think that fortune teller is amazing or not?

He actually knew that your wife, Zhang, was carrying a girl.

It can even tell you that your brother Zhang's parents are both dead.

They even calculated that you, Sister Zhang, have two moles on your waist.

Lin Feng had never believed in such superstitious things, but he sensed something was amiss.

So Lin Feng asked, "And then?"

Lin's mother immediately launched into a long explanation: "At first, your brother Zhang didn't believe it either."

The next day, his house was infested with rats, with more than a dozen large rats inexplicably running into it.

That really scared your sister-in-law, Zhang.

The next day, the fortune teller came again, saying that she couldn't bear to see Brother Zhang suffer such a calamity, so she came to help him break the curse.

This time, Brother Zhang believed her and gave all the valuables in his house to that fortune teller.

That fortune teller will come over tonight to help your brother Zhang break the curse.

The fortune teller told your brother Zhang to keep it a secret and not to alert the villagers.

I heard about it when I went to visit your sister-in-law, Zhang.

Your brother Zhang told me to keep this a secret, so don't go around telling anyone.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng immediately put down his chopsticks.

He remembered what Mr. Hong had told him about the two most toxic professions in the world.

Brother Zhang next door may have encountered one of them.
